Bump.Any release date for 4.3? Curious, especially with the security advisory that was posted to Bugtraq on 9/21/2006!

FYI, talked to Sun Support on the phone last week and they said 4.3 was released (Oct 26). I've spent a few hours checking the site, and the docs are out there, but the software isn't.

Going to call them again in a few minutes and be a little more hard-nosed... "ok, if you say it's released, tell me where it is."

Will post results.

Asked Sun about the new release... this is what I got back:

Red-

Please see the following link to purchase:

http://store.sun.com/CMTemplate/CEServlet?process=SunStore&cmdViewProduct_C P&catid=142095

This doesn't address the free public download, which has always been the case in the past... asked about that and will post the response here.

If you believe in Suns Webshop it should not be a problem to by it online ;-)

It is:

TTA99-430C99M9

Sun Secure Global Desktop Software 4.3, Media-Kit, unterst黷zt Solaris und Linux

Link for German Shop Version:

http://catalog.sun.com/partpricing.xml?site=DE_GER&catalogue=FC&segment =FC_SC&item=FC_SC_SRCHIN&group=&fid=&id=13198

Whats the problem?

Did anybody ever tried to order this article?

Remold, that's basically the answer I just got...

The free download will be "coming soon". We do not have

a definite date for it as of now.

Tarantella, buying a product online without proper testing first would cost me my job. Proper testing and documentation is generally a precursor to major buys, at least where I work. :)

Sorry Red_Oregon,

but the link to the webshop should be an ironical information to Suns kind of handling TTA customers.

A lot of people are waiting for 4.3, coming "soon" for a long time. But instaed of a good roadmap you can rely on, they update there webshop only used by customers without dealer/partner connections. Thats not a good product-customer philosophy!

Nobody will get this 4.3 CD. It does not exist!

But thats no reason for Sun to sell it!

We works with Tarantella as Premier Partner (professional Services) since version 2 (1999). This is very good solution.

We like to have access to SGD roadmap to develop Server Base Computing market. Who is the person that can release access to this information. We are SUN partners too. If need to sign complementary NDA for this, we sign.

As far as I know, there are some "legal issues" which are slowing down the release of the 4.3 release.

I don't have an exact release date NOW but I've been told it should be a few weeks from now.

Best,

Rob

Interesting. Can you expand on your sources? Lack of release is holding up a rather important project.

I'm sorry but I can't tell you more simply because I don't know more and my "sources" are not allowed to disclose additional info to me and this group.

If you need to know more, then I think it's worth checking against your Sun's rep.

Best,

Rob
